Hi. I am a fairly new grower but the addiction has already started. I have had orchids for eight years but only started growing them for five. The orchids that grow best for me are Phrags and Encyclias. I usually buy orchid that are in spike or bloom so I can get enjoyment from them in case they die. I have been fortunate to get to know some growers who have helped me. I love Schoms and Schombocats(now known as Myc and Laelia). I have been trying to grow Catts with some success. I like habenarias, too. And if course Phals which got me started. Dens hate me.

I live in Central Florida in microclimate zone 11. I am growing outside at the present time. In process of building a spa where I can protect them.

Looking forward to being on this forum to learn. I am 56 years old so I have gotten a really late start. So I try to buy larger plants so I might get a specimen one day.

Welcome to the board.

Welcome to the OB! I got an even later start than you, but this is such an enjoyable hobby, no matter what our age. It sounds like you have a nice place for growing.

Hello and welcome! :)

Welcome! You can put a location in your profile. It will appear on the upper right of each message, as in mine, and we won't have to ask about location if you post questions.

Never to late to start. It is the pleasure you get out of it you will enjoy
